Doctor in Environmental Sciences and official Master in Technology and Chemical Instrumentation. My main line of research is the development and implementation of green technologies aimed at removing heavy metals from polluted effluents through the use of microbial biomass. At the same time, I design protocols aimed at recovering these metals for reuse, in some cases as metallic nanoparticles with added value in the field of nanotechnology, especially in nanomedicine. Since March 2010 I belong to the TEP-233 Group "Environmental Technologies" of the Department of Chemical, Environmental and Materials Engineering of the University of Jaén.
